Bamboo, Considered as a Paper-making Material - With remarks upon its cultivation and treatment. Supplemented by a consideration of the present position of the paper trade in relation to the supply of raw material.

Of all the fibre-yielding plants known to botanical science there is not one so well calculated to meet the pressing requirements of the Paper-trade as "Bamboo," both as regards facility and economy of production, as well as the quality of the "Paper-Stock" which can be manufactured therefrom: grown under favourable conditions of climate and soil, there is no plant which will give so heavy a crop of available fibre to the acre, no plant which requires so little care for its cultivation and continuous production. The rapidity of the growth of "Bamboo" is unequalled. At Gehzireh, the gardens of the Khedive of Egypt at Cairo, it has been known to grow nine inches in a single night. At Syon House, the Duke of Northumberland's, stems of "Bambusa Gigantea" have attained the height of 60 feet in 12 weeks; and I have made "Paper-Stock" from a stem of "Bambusa Vulgaris," sent me by Dr. Hooker, from the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, which, as measured by the gardener in the Palm-house, grew at the rate of three feet in a single week; at Chatsworth, the Duke of [p.4] Devonshire's, this same variety (the "Bambusa Vulgaris") has attained the height of 40 feet in 40 days. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
